Hagel could be the next defense secretary, you're asking why they would want to get more information on Benghazi before they get Hagel in? You're not really asking that are you?
You need to read more into Hagel's past relations with Isreal and Iran before you try to make a fair comment.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511942b1eab8eac422000002gop 4 prezMon, 11 Feb 2013 14:12:49 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511942b1eab8eac422000002
We need wealth creation and not wealth spreading
Much to the upset of the left, the stock market keeps surging despite the tiny spending cuts. They wish it would fall much more, but it ain't happening. Dow 15000 soon. Google $1300/share, AMZN $500/share.
We need austerity for mainstreet , increased taxes for those making under $200k a year, and more defense spending . that way we cut the deficit , increase revenue, and keep america safe while promoting pro-growth policy

Yes.
I'm of the belief that IF the GOP can manage to win the white house any time soon, it will come with a divided congress.
I'd also like to point out that since I'm a human with a brain, I don't operate under the belief that I will preemptively hate and oppose every single possible position the opposing party could hold.
Being Republicans is not what makes these abusers wrong, its the fact that they're spamming the filibuster at unprecedented levels to grind progress to a halt in service of ideological warfare. Their objections are typically trivial or insubstantial or simply nonexistent and are rarely made in good faith. This is the equivalent of running the ball out of bounds on every play so the timer stops. Problem is, some people actually came to watch a game!
I'm terrified at the prospect of GOP nominees for SCOTUS and State, simply because of the demonstrable HORRIBLE consequences such appointments have recently produced (Citizen's United, 4 dissenting votes on Lawrence V Texas, etc.) But in this sense the proof is in the pudding. Who among us, but the most stalwart party-line hacks would actually suggest that another John Bolton would be good for America? Or that Robert Bork would have been an honest or dutiful SC Justice?
Filibuster needs reform. Big Time.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51193869ecad04f422000016BossuMon, 11 Feb 2013 13:28:57 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51193869ecad04f422000016
Are you blind or do you have an arithmetic problem the GOPs might be able to win the house again and again because of gerrymandering, but they will never win the White House until they stop their hatred towards minorities and the middle class of this country.
They don't have the vote now nor will they ever get it unless they take a long look in the mirror.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511937e46bb3f7de11000008Where are Rand Paul's delegates?Mon, 11 Feb 2013 13:26:44 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511937e46bb3f7de11000008
Not gonna happen at this rate.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511936916bb3f75b0d000006Orlando AndersonMon, 11 Feb 2013 13:21:05 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511936916bb3f75b0d000006
It sounds like your hate for the GOP is blurring your vision to what it actually happening. The problem is that there is too much hidden information in regards to Benghazi at the time. They are trying to to block Hagel until more information comes out.
Many of the GOP are already in the bag, but not all. Its hard to paint the GOP as idiotic, so instead of doing that I'm calling your comment idiotic and ignorant.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511935b96bb3f7890f000001fredlledMon, 11 Feb 2013 13:17:29 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511935b96bb3f7890f000001

Are you going to feel the same way when the Republicans win back the white house and nominate some one you don't like?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5119349e69bedd441f000002Bobby ArcadipaneMon, 11 Feb 2013 13:12:46 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5119349e69bedd441f000002
Nuke the fillibuster. They've already abused it in so many ways, not the least of which was to unconstitutionally cripple the CFPB, one of the only government agencies that can even hope to protect the best interests of us little people.
When kids can't share their toys you have to take them away.
*Note, unconstitutional was my interpretation. The issue is muddy and has not been argued before any court.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511930ee6bb3f76304000004badbobMon, 11 Feb 2013 12:57:02 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511930ee6bb3f76304000004
Inhofe can, singlehandedly make the entire Congress look like a huge clown party.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5119308deab8ea047000002bbadbobMon, 11 Feb 2013 12:55:25 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5119308deab8ea047000002b
I'm sorry, but Inhofe needs to ......expire. This guy is one of the poster boys for the idiots that are the GOP.
